PowerPoint Power Tip # 1

Need to delete or change an object that's being covered by another object that you don't want to move or delete? Click and drag over both objects to select them both, then hold the Shift key while you click on the objects. This should de-select the object in front, since that's the one that will intercept the click. Now you should have only the object behind selected; you can now delete it, move it using the arrow keys, or whatever else you want to do with it.
